So, what are your plans for the weekend that will bring you into full alignment with your soul or your inner self?
If you ask yourself that question every day, you won’t even need to think about your answer. You’ll be doing what you do every other day, intentionally choosing thoughts, beliefs, behaviours, and experiencing activities that fully work for you and bring your heart to life.
That’s truly what we’re here for, and nothing less. But we can’t get there without a voice.
You’ve heard me say before that our voices get shut down when we’re uncomfortable, even fearful, of the reactions of others. We are definitely not aligned to our authentic selves when we are either of those things.
What will so-and-so think?
Will they think I’m a bother, or challenge me about what I want to say?
Will they still like (or love) me?
Then you ruminate and/or complain about them all the way home.
Sound familiar? That’s what can happen for us when we’re challenged to say what we want or need to say.
And that’s because “using” our voices is tough (if not impossible) until we have been successful at “finding” our voices.
Our voices are hidden underneath the layers of our history, our traumas, and our human conditioning (the “sauce”). When we pour some love and compassion on those things, we can heal into expressing ourselves in ways that feel 100% right to us.
The voice must be found before you can be totally aware of what you want. That explains why we intellectually know that we should be speaking up for ourselves, but we let ourselves off the hook.
Once the voice is found, even just a little, you can start to authentically express yourself. Making shit up or pretending to be ok with not being yourself just doesn’t work. Except for others, they don’t likely know the real you anyway. Yet.
The real you is the one who walks with an awareness of what has happened in your life, saying what she needs, wants, and desires anyway, and makes it happen.
The real you is the one who makes conscious choices that align with you. Not just as a one-off. All the time.
That is why you finding your voice is so friggin’ important to me. I see women suffer every single day, feeling like they aren’t getting enough from their life. Often afraid to admit that to friends, families, or even helping professionals. Trying to justify their silence doesn’t work, what works is finding that voice so they can actually use it.
If you’re held back by any reason, if this resonates, please get with me. Your voice is not just a little thing. It’s everything. No voice, no true freedom and no true happy. And you deserve to be happy.
